The cord files

Of course, you can look smart in corduroy trousers or jackets. Its weight makes corduroy the perfect fabric for winter. This season, you can try a few new things to wow your colleagues and friends at work or at a party.

Cool looks

THE FORMAL LOOK
Corduroys can be good work clothes as long as you get your jacket and trousers right. Don't go for wildly varied colours.
Shades of brown, black, blue or fawn are your best bet—with a pair of black shoes and a matching tie. 

CASUAL
If you’re dressing casual, cords offer great versatility. Wear your jacket loose and team it with either a pair of corduroy trousers or denims.

 A TRICKY WALE(BOX)

‘Wale’ refers to the width of the ridges. Try and avoid wide wales, as they look clunky. On the other hand, if the wales are too thin, your cords will get that all-tooshiny velvety look. Go for narrow wales that preserve the corduroy look without being too ‘in your face’.
